Sony demoed Wipeout HD and GT5 prologue in 3D on a polarized screen but didn't communicate any tech specs or availablility.
"We're not going to talk about specifications. This is just a look at what 3D could look like if Sony decided to move in this direction." The idea was just to show the technology to people, to see if they would be interested in sitting at home, wearing a dorky set of black glasses, watching content in 3D.
My view on this is that the magic 3D firmware which turns the PS3 into a 3D console like the nvidia driver won't happen.
Sony isn't ready to jump into 3D now and I believe sony prefers to let others take the risk before really embracing 3D.
If 3D on current gen consoles is to happen it will have to come from the developpers side.

edit :
i just noticed there was an other thread in the general discussion forum
